Its my urban ride now.....not game to take it off road and test its rep.......

If anyone has an interesting upper-mid to high-end early 90s frame they'd part with for dollars, 16-19", Please let me know as I have some 737 XT, a pile of early 90s NOS tyres, and a growing collection of retro finishing kit, I would like to do a build.

I don't want any broken stuff but I am happy to paint and decal back to factory.

I have this frame at home but its bent and at the end of the day, while I've owned it for 17 years, I really don't think its 'trick' enough to warrant another build up being a mid-range tange tubed LX level bike.

I want to build something that snaps necks this time, 100% period spec.

All that was left of the original 1-1/4" threaded forks were the stanchions so i got reducers and fitted some later Manitous i had lying around (if i come across some older Rock Shox forks i'll swap them out). The handlebars were made by 'NL' or something like that? I've seen that brand plenty of places before, but they are actually etched on one side with a paragraph spiel about the wonders of aluminium .Didn't have wheels so Exage hubs with Araya/Velocity rims, Trek Big Kahuna front, WTB VelociRaptor rear.
